Network Prompts
ONE: A LONG WALK HOME
You wake up at 6AM when lockdown ends, cold and tired, like you've been walking miles in the snow. But that's normal, isn't it? What isn't normal is your surroundings. You're in a new building, maybe one you've never seen before, or one you know is far, far away from where you were the night before when you fell asleep. If you were traveling with someone, you notice, also, that you are alone. There's no telling where your traveling companion could be.
When you check the network, you notice that @ADMIN has left a message.
Surveillance encountered an error shortly after 8PM last night and was out of order until shortly after 6AM. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Whether or not you're confused or concerned about the message, maybe a post to the network will help you re-orient yourself.
TWO: GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE...
Seems you've found a rather valuable commodity. Something like alcohol, tea, coffee, cigarettes, or perhaps even something medical. Whatever you've found, you have no real interest in it, yourself. But you know that there's a market for it, and you see the opportunity to turn this into a win-win situation. You're not physically around anyone that you know of, so you propose a network-wide trade. And whoever makes the sweetest deal can be the proud owner of their craved luxury.
Action Prompts
THREE: A SYMPHONY OF SOUND
You and your traveling companion thought that the house you decided to stop in for the night seemed normal enough. But lockdown hits, as it does every night, and things start to get strange. Soft sounds of crying; children crying, parents crying, screaming for their own safety. Maybe it's just the sound of the wind rushing so hard through the rubble you fear the ceiling will collapse. Maybe it's your own voice whispering to you to do awful things. Whatever the noise is, it's too much for you to fall asleep, coming to eerie crescendos and ebbing in volume at entirely irregular intervals. Looks like you and whoever you're with are in for a long night.
FOUR: IN DUE TIME
After a grueling day of travel, you and your companion finally come across safe shelter. And it seems to be a nice house, too, with a working fireplace and everything. The only strange part is that you aren't alone--but the other people in the house don't seem to be aware of you. In fact, they don't seem to be aware of anything; they're frozen in time, unmoving, unblinking, not even breathing. They can be touched, but they can't be moved. No matter how hard you try, they're rooted to the spot. They seem to be like you, weighed down with heavy winter wear and backpacks, not like the nondescript shadowy people that wander the town.
Oh well. They're probably harmless, and it isn't like you have time to find a different place to stay.

It's early. You should have time to visit the building and find another location to spend the night. Keep me updated.
no subject
[Things that have not changed: Kid's subtle stubbornness. He won't directly disobey his instructor, but he isn't keen on traveling the new landscape alone. While he had spent so much time around humans, it did not mean that he recognized immediately the dangersame or hazards he was frequently leaving himself open to. While he'd felt all sorts of pains and had all sorts of injuries and faced hunger and thirst before it had simply never mattered.
But it does matter here, and if he's not careful he'll get himself killed doing something as simple as forgetting to drink for a few days in a row, and wouldn't that be stupid?]
There ate rudimentary maps in various locations. If nothing else, I can try to meet you.
no subject
I need to check the hospital for medical supplies [because he's hyper aware of the possible weaknesses the young god has now. Kid's going to need bandages, and antiseptics, and painkillers, and who knows what else. It's going to take a lifetime for the boy to adapt to a loss of what he should be.] and then I'll head out. But it's going to be a few days before I get anywhere close to you.
If you notice anything physically unusual, you need to let me know. [He's said it before, but it needs to be said again.]
no subject
Of course.
[There camera shifts and he looks off screen, towards the building he will later realize is the convenience store.] When I reach a building that is a landmark, I will let you know.
no subject
There you are! [At least he sounds chipper when he picks the tablet up, still voice only. But then again, Kid might have noticed that Stein's... significantly more high energy right now than he should be (manic, that's the word the other doctors he's talked to have used, but Stein's trying to pretend that doesn't matter).]
Did you have a safe trip?
no subject
With the video feed on, Kid looks confused but at least cooperative. He's got the camera just slightly crooked in his hands.] Yeah. The trip was fine.
It's a convenience store.
[Kid places the tablet on the counter so Stein can have a better view of the room. There's not much in the small store, but there does appear to be some food and first aid supplies, signs of others having rummaged through the building. While gesturing across the room, the camera will catch a glimpse of dangerously purple fingertips. Frostbite is getting to the young reaper, but Kid hasn't seemed to have noticed.]
There are supplies here, but not many. People have been here before. Gone through lots of what's here.
no subject
You can't stay in the store overnight, so get supplies and then get out. If you can find any possible clues, or anything that looks exceptionally out of place, bring that along as well.
no subject
[Yes, Stein. He's less concerned because it is the same fingers on both hands.] I'll look for what's worth taking and then get out.
What direction do I head in to start moving your way? [Thankfully, he still makes sense, though he's dropped all of his attempts to seem older--his language is more like his peers. Mostly. You know, except for not being too concerned about frostbite because it's in the same place on both hands.]
no subject
Head south, and then follow the wall west. The entrance to the ice caves is near the southwestern edge.
no subject
[Yeah and he means that so...
With a shiver, he looks back to the door and then the camera, nodding.] You stayed at the caves. South, and when I find the wall, follow it west. About how far--a day, or longer?
no subject
I'll leave here soon, and start coming your way. [But he knows that convenience store. He knows how far away it is. And he knows Kid is in trouble.]
It's going to be at least a week before we meet up, unless the weather improves dramatically. I want an update every night on your current location and status.
no subject
[Unlike earlier, there isn't a hint of humor in his tone.
As for the second comment, Kid's response is flat and equally monotone as his first, unamused.] I hope you are prepared for updates on location to include "largely collapsed building surrounded by snow", since that's what everything looks like around here.
[Grumpy, hungry and overtired teenager who has never had to deal with the consequences of being hungry and overtired is grumpy, hungry and overtired.]
no subject
[Yet being the operative word. It's going to happen eventually, he already has problems mentally because of the cold.]
Some of those largely collapsed buildings surrounded by snow have hot running water.
no subject
[Shut your face and find some gloves in the store, Kid, before you lose an appendage first. And while you're at it, find some food, and some water. Think about the things that are needed to get a human through the day--you need them too, now.
It will take far too long to adjust to the need to react to the signs his body sends him. Hopefully, it will not take longer than it does for him to die from not addressing physiological needs.]
Some being the key word.
no subject
And some have food, and some have clothes. You are going to need to learn to take advantage of every possible source of supplies here.
no subject
He might pretend he's got everything nicely together, but he is growing increasingly uncomfortable with the situation. A small shiver runs through him, and he nods.] There was nothing in the other house. I'll be sure to pick through what's here.
